Maybe you&#8217;ve added<br \/>\nyour own complaints to the mix. <\/p>\n<p>If you live in another country, maybe you&#8217;ve got<br \/>\nconcerns about the system there.<\/p>\n<p>Probably you&#8217;ve got ideas of what needs to change.<br \/>\nCertainly, after the last ezine, I heard from quite a<br \/>\nfew people about negative opinions of the way doctors<br \/>\ntreat them.<\/p>\n<p>But what can you do to change the system?<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly, a lot!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you can&#8217;t change anything by resisting,<br \/>\nrejecting, criticizing, or judging it. So, your first<br \/>\nstep is always to relax and enjoy it. &#8220;The system&#8221; is<br \/>\nnot your enemy, or even an obstacle to you when you<br \/>\nthink in the certain way.<\/p>\n<p>Next, whether you&#8217;re in a policy-making position or<br \/>\nnot, your influence on others starts with who you think<br \/>\nyou are. <\/p>\n<p>Whether you think you&#8217;re powerful or you think you&#8217;re<br \/>\npowerless, you&#8217;re right! Your thoughts are powerfully<br \/>\ncreating the reality in which you live, providing<br \/>\nplenty of evidence that you can then use as proof that<br \/>\nyou&#8217;re right.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you&#8217;re going around thinking thoughts<br \/>\nlike, &#8220;it&#8217;s not fair,&#8221; or &#8220;it&#8217;s hopeless,&#8221; what do you<br \/>\nthink will show up in your experience??<\/p>\n<p>How about if your attention is on beliefs like &#8220;those<br \/>\n(fill in the blank with the group you least trust) are<br \/>\njust getting rich off the backs of (fill in the blank<br \/>\nwith the victim group.)&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8217;s the perfect time to turn those thoughts right<br \/>\naround and into something that reinforces what you<br \/>\nprefer. <\/p>\n<p>What if you remember that the law of attraction is the<br \/>\nvery essence of fairness? That every person gets<br \/>\nexactly what he or she attracts vibrationally. That<br \/>\nevery person has the power to change what he or she is<br \/>\nattracting simply by changing his or her focus of<br \/>\nattention.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of feeling sorry for yourself or others, you<br \/>\ncan pave the way to great results with awareness of<br \/>\nyour power, positive expectation, appreciation and<br \/>\ngratitude in advance.<\/p>\n<p>You can add fuel to the fire of solutions by imagining<br \/>\nyourself and the people you care about being thrilled<br \/>\nwith the way they are treated in the health care<br \/>\nworld&#8211;even if your image includes all the people on<br \/>\nearth!<\/p>\n<p>Third, whenever you generalize or globalize what you<br \/>\nsee as a problem, and use language that distances it<br \/>\nfrom the actual human beings involved, you give the<br \/>\nproblem your power. This is true whether you&#8217;re talking<br \/>\nabout a disease&#8211;especially an epidemic,&#8211;a political<br \/>\ngroup, a social group, a race, a religion, a<br \/>\ncorporation, a country, or a system.<\/p>\n<p>So, your first step could be to simply look for the<br \/>\nexceptions. Put your attention on examples of what you<br \/>\ndesire, instead of discouraging averages,<br \/>\ngeneralizations, or statistics.<\/p>\n<p>Fourth, look for where you can intervene. Maybe you<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t force the government to change the law. Maybe you<br \/>\ncan&#8217;t even find an insurance policy that works the way<br \/>\nyou want it to.<\/p>\n<p>But you CAN determine the state of your own health, so<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t need to interact with the health care system<br \/>\nat all!<\/p>\n<p>You CAN attract more money so it&#8217;s not such a big deal<br \/>\nto pay for the services you want.<\/p>\n<p>You CAN find doctors you like and develop good<br \/>\nrelationships with them.<\/p>\n<p>You CAN find things to appreciate about every person,<br \/>\nevery place, every institution, and every system.<\/p>\n<p>When you do these things, you give your power to what<br \/>\nyou want to increase in your life. And, you&#8217;ll be<br \/>\nadding to that in the world around you.
